Billy Ray Cyrus released THE HILL (Deluxe) on November 6, 2026, expanding his latest album with family collaborations, a John Prine cover and new recordings of songs from his catalog. The country singer joins daughter Noah Cyrus for an acoustic version of “On Our Way Along” and DELTONA for “Storm Windows.” The release follows the original THE HILL, which arrived in June and marked his first collection of all-new studio recordings in 14 years, according to Taste of Country.

Cyrus also recorded “You Are My Everything” with his son Braison Cyrus, continuing the father-son partnership behind the album. Braison produced THE HILL, and an earlier announcement from Cyrus’s team described their work as more than a year of writing, recording and production. In his new Taste of Country interview, Cyrus recalled Miley urging him to listen to “You Are My Everything” during a drive to the Hannah Montana set. Her enthusiasm for the song stayed with him as he returned to it with Braison.

On “Storm Windows,” Cyrus and DELTONA take on a song by Prine. The expanded edition also includes a new recording of “I Want My Mullet Back,” which Taste of Country associates with his Hannah Montana years. For listeners who know Cyrus from the television series, he revisits that part of his musical career alongside the newer material. Steve Ray Ladson and Bucky Covington appear on the project, extending the guest lineup beyond Cyrus’s family.

For “Storm In The Heartland,” Cyrus returned to the studio where he recorded the song decades earlier. He told Taste of Country that the experience brought recent storms and flooding to mind, along with the resilience of people facing those losses. His account connects the new performance to his memories of making the original recording. The return also follows the reflective approach he discussed in an earlier interview about THE HILL: Asked about “Better Me” and “I’ll Change,” Cyrus described searching for hope and meaning. He continues that album’s focus while revisiting older songs with a new group of collaborators.
